'Generators,' not emergency powers will resolve energy crisis

Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares said in an interview over radio dzMM that instead of emergency powers, the House energy committee is considering the implementation of the Interruptible Load Program, where big business establishments will use power generators during the crisis.

He said that based on the results of the hearings, the Committee on Energy is not convinced that there would be an energy crisis in 2015.

"Iba kasi 'yung kulang ang suplay at iba rin 'yung kulang ang reserba so parang tinatakot tayo ng DOE (Department of Energy) na: 'Ay grabe ang krisis,' in the end pala walang kakulangan sa suplay," Colmenares added.
